Thank you, sirs Silverend and Locoroco, for answering on my behalf .

To sirs Crazed_Balisong and Buneknek, tama po si sir Silverend. Ito po yung video: http://www.youtube.com/user/GU9126#p/u/12/OQt8PZQtoRg

Regarding po doon sa additional mudguards, I bought a sheet of 1/4" thick rubber mat and then cut them into shapes using scissor and cutter blade then smoothened the edges using 100 grit sandpaper. Attached them to the fender flares using screws.

Sir Silverend, correct din po si sir Locoroco sa size ng tires and rims. Now using Mickey Thompson MTRs bought from Auto Options at +11K per tire. The 16" polished Dick Cepek rims from Jeff Offroad House at +8K each if I remember correctly.

This is photo of my Strada taken recently:

hi sir! one of our members spyke sells turbo timers....

and for the idling time before you turn it off 2 to 3 mins is enough for IMO...but only do it when you run more than 100Kph....because its not necessary when you only dwell on the city streets.....

HTH

would just like to add..yes 2-3 mins is much safer time to cool down the turbocharger from running high speeds, the owner's manual tells you at least 60 secs(basing on the 2nd gen strada). the only downside to it is when you are in a hurry and stopping at the gas station they would ask you to turn the engine off before filling, sometimes 2 or 3 mins takes forever to wait. however it's not a problem, you can manually program its' time, just try to remember before shutting the engine down.

citimotors chino roces..... it took 2weeks to get it.. color silver.... just changed the tires/mags today to the 17inch montero wheels.. looks heaps better then the stock glx mags... only paid 7k for the 4 mags and tires with the trade in of my glx mags..and the thread on the montero tires were 97% if not more... straight out of the casa they said..good price i think??? got them in evangelista street makati.... others were offering 15k with trade in.. trying to rip me off coz they see im half filo and think i dont understand tagalog..haha
